Pre linked Is the data source described created by the linkage of other data sources? Yes Data source, other Cancer Pathway (The table contains a primary key (AVPID) and foreign keys (PATIENTID, TUMOURID) that can be used for patient level linkage to Other NCRAS Datasets. The events contained within this Dataset are sourced from multiple Data feeds (Cancer pathway events are sourced/summarised from the Cancer Registry, SACT, RTDS, HES, CWT, and DIDs Datasets) and therefore its coverage and completeness varies according to the underlying Data feed used to populate event information.) Linkage strategy Deterministic Linkage variable Routine linkages are conducted at both patient and/or tumours level to using the PATIENTID and TUMOURID Data to Other cancer registration Datasets. The primary patient identifier is the NHS number (a unique identifier used throughout the healthcare system in England), but date of birth, full name and address are also used for patient identification and linkage. Linkage completeness Linkage has a very high-level of completion
Pre linked Is the data source described created by the linkage of other data sources? Yes Data source, other Cancer registry (This table is relational in nature; with one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. It contains three primary keys (PATIENTID, TUMOURID and EVENTID). This table can be considered the Master Linkage File for all Other NCRAS Data. Linkage strategy Deterministic Linkage variable Routine linkages are conducted at both patient and/or tumours level to using the PATIENTID and TUMOURID Data to Other cancer registration Datasets. The primary patient identifier is the NHS number (a unique identifier used throughout the healthcare system in England), but date of birth, full name and address are also used for patient identification and linkage. Linkage completeness Linkage has a very high-level of completion
Pre linked Is the data source described created by the linkage of other data sources? Yes Data source, other RDTS - National RadiOtheraphy Dataset (RDTS) (Patients diagnosed with cancer in the calendar years 1995 to the last available cancer registration year with RTDS treatment details available from the 1st April 2009 to the last available quarter before the request date. This is approximately 6 months behind the current date.) Linkage strategy Deterministic Linkage variable Routine linkages are conducted at both patient and/or tumours level to using the PATIENTID and TUMOURID Data to Other cancer registration Datasets. The primary patient identifier is the NHS number (a unique identifier used throughout the healthcare system in England), but date of birth, full name and address are also used for patient identification and linkage. Linkage completeness Linkage has a very high-level of completion
Pre linked Is the data source described created by the linkage of other data sources? Yes Data source, other SACT - Systemic anti-cancer theraphy Dataset (Patients treated with chemOtherapy from April 2012 to the last available quarter before the request date. This is approximately 6 months behind the current date.) Linkage strategy Deterministic Linkage variable Routine linkages are conducted at both patient and/or tumours level to using the PATIENTID and TUMOURID Data to Other cancer registration Datasets. The primary patient identifier is the NHS number (a unique identifier used throughout the healthcare system in England), but date of birth, full name and address are also used for patient identification and linkage.
